It would not be something you'd want to carry. if it wasn't useful to you. So he dumped it. And one of the neighborhood children who was still living at the time I got interested explained to me how the neighborhood kids found the gun under the rabbit hutch.

But there may be a connection there.

Although I did find it interesting in talking to some of the nephews, who unfortunately have all passed now, that Charlie is the only one in the family who ever was convicted of any serious crime.

And I kind of quizzed him. I said, nobody else was quite as colorful as your uncle. And he said, oh, absolutely not. Now, his father... who was Walter Floyd, had kind of a tragic end.
